Product Description

Review

"This is a good translation of Kant's historically important though brief essay on the foundation of moral theory. Recommended for upper-division undergraduate and graduate students." Choice

"The new translation by the late Mary Gregor of Kant's classic work on moral theory ought to become the standard edition for both ethics and Kant courses." Ethics


Product Description

Immanuel Kant’s Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals ranks alongside Plato’s Republic and Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics as one of the most profound and influential works in moral philosophy ever written. In Kant’s own words its aim is to search for and establish the supreme principle of morality, the categorical imperative. Kant argues that every human being is an end in himself or herself, never to be used as a means by others, and that moral obligation is an expression of the human capacity for autonomy or self-government. This edition presents the acclaimed translation of the text by Mary Gregor, together with an introduction by Christine M. Korsgaard that examines and explains Kant’s argument.

5.0 out of 5 stars very illuminating but requiring patience, 6 Dec 2002
By A Customer
The first work I read of Kant's was Critique of Practical Reason, which was probably a mistake. Afterwards I read this and it helped me a great deal in understanding Kant's second critique and Critique of Pure Reason. The style is more sparkling then his three most well known works and requires less patience but saying that you still need to read some sentences five or six times.

I don't agree with everything dear old Immanuel states in this work particularly as he doesn't leave enough room for faith and he considers morality in the abstract far too much. But then again you cannot agree with a thinker 100% of the time; and I don't believe anybody could have made the strides in philosophy that he did. In my opinion it is better to start off with this work before attempting his critiques', but anyway good luck to you in whatever work of Kants you read because you will need it.
